PhD in Spintronics, Magnetic Tunnel Junctions, and Neuromorphic Computing at IIIT-Delhi Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology Delhi in

IIIT-Delhi is inviting applications for a PhD position in spintronics, magnetic tunnel junctions, emerging memory devices, and neuromorphic computing. The advertised project is based in the Department of ECE and the Centre for Quantum Technologies, with research activity connected to the MIND Lab (Memory and Intelligent Nanoelectronic Devices Laboratory).

The work is described as a mix of experimental and simulation-driven research, including magnetic tunnel junctions, skyrmion-based devices, brain-inspired neuromorphic computing, micro/nanofabrication, device characterization, and interdisciplinary modeling. The post also mentions collaboration with leading research facilities at National University of Singapore and A*STAR Singapore, suggesting strong international exposure.

Funding: The selected candidate is preferably expected to have CSIR JRF, UGC JRF, or INSPIRE fellowship support. Fellowship support is stated as ₹60,000 per month. The IIIT-Delhi PhD admissions page further notes institute fellowship support, international lab-visit support, laptop/desktop support, contingency grant, and conference travel support for regular PhD students.

Eligibility: Candidates from Physics, ECE, Materials Science, Nanotechnology, or related areas are encouraged to apply. Useful experience includes thin-film deposition, device fabrication, TensorFlow/PyTorch, and MuMax3, but highly motivated applicants with strong fundamentals are also welcome. The broader IIIT-Delhi PhD admissions page also encourages candidates with UGC/CSIR JRF, DST INSPIRE, DBT Fellowship, and research-oriented B.Tech. backgrounds.

Application: Interested candidates should email their CV to Dr. Anuj Kumar at [email protected]. Applicants should also use the IIIT-Delhi online PhD application portal and follow the discipline-specific admission process. The official admissions page lists the application deadline as 2026-04-10.

Research keywords: spintronics, magnetic tunnel junctions, skyrmion devices, neuromorphic computing, nanoelectronics, micromagnetic simulations, device fabrication, thin films, compute-in-memory, magnetic memory technologies.
